What is korean mullet?

Korean mullet or Myeoneuri (명어) is a popular fish species in Korea. It is a saltwater fish that is often caught in the Yellow Sea and East Sea of Korea. The mullet has a distinctive appearance with a slender body that tapers towards the tail and a pointed head with a small mouth. Its coloration ranges from a silvery-grey to olive-green on top and lighter on the underside.

Korean mullet is prized for its tender flesh and delicate flavor, which is often compared to that of sea bass or flounder. It is often prepared grilled or pan-fried, and is commonly served with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. The fish is also used in soups, stews, and as a filling in dumplings.

In Korean cuisine, Korean mullet is considered a high-end fish due to its difficulty to catch and its relatively low availability. It is also believed to have a number of health benefits, such as being rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B and D, and minerals such as calcium and iron. The fish is available year-round but is at its best during the autumn and winter months.
